Mod Browsing Overhaul Discussion

[Shergrim]

I think the new UI looks nice however can we please get the "filename contains" search parameter back? i'm finding it hard to search for specific mods.

Nexus Mods needs a mod to update back to the old UI.

Just want to point out that this particular thing is a bug, and we're aware of it. Hopefully, it'll get fixed soon. 

man, I really had to come back to say this one thing because I just feel it's much needed right now as much as this whole enforcement is never going to end it seems as we just get ignored:

none of these bugs would have existed in the first place if you guys never created them... what I don't get is why they needed to remove the old link to the old page completely which is beyond me. Feedback could have been easily acquired in a very respectable way if the old page still existed but now you've gone and pissed in everyone's faces. Numbers always prove what is better and I can almost assure more people were using the old design way more than the new and they could've taken the time to move every part of the old design (almost mirror) on to the new one and just built off of it, that way no one would've complained as it would basically be the same thing but nope, some features were completely replaced, pages were bloated such as the main mod page slowing down load times while showing less mods overall and only to piss in new modders faces, even less hot mods are now being shown and even less new mods are being shown on the front page along with assortment of other things which just slow down the page. I have fast ethernet, a 4070 ti, and a high end cpu and even I am experiencing slow loading times sometimes. I can only imagine what people with much less powerful pcs are experiencing, even people on mobile devices. Anyways sorry about the rant.

It's horrible please god give us an option to use the old style.

[OgreScar]

Yes, it is horrific. Give us the old interface back. I can't even navigate the new system.

The lack of borders on UI elements and the pitch black background on the game main page and search pages really messes with my eyes. It needs to be a lighter color and not straight #00000. If you want to do an AMOLED themed style please just make that an OPTION instead of the default, because it keeps making me think my monitor viewing angle is wrong and colors aren't being portrayed properly.

I understand the desire to change how the site looks to update older elements. That doesn't bother me that much, I'll get used to it eventually. My complaint is with the basic controls and function. I the past when I went to a games page I would get a page of the updated for the last few dates up to X number of mods. Now I get the mods sorted but clicking the "view more mods" button does not actually show me "more mods" it just shows the same previous page but page numbers that I have to click to get the actual second page to see "more". And If I want to see the updated mods I have to circle back to the first page and then rinse and repeat on the updated page. 

Very poor design function change. Hopefully this can be fixed.

While I entirely understand why y'all may not desire to include a "legacy" or "accessibility" mode since you'd have to additionally maintain support for that, especially given the massive size of the site and variety of pages it has, people who have vision issues can currently only gain recourse to the updated UI using stylesheets addons that most of those people who need them are going to have absolutely no idea even exist.  

I also realize that if Nexus Mods mentions any sort of third-party solution, a massive portion of users erroneously will interpret that to mean Nexus Mods creates and/or supports or develops it but... People who would really appreciate better accessibility support probably don't have an option to not need the accessibility support, you know?

And all the effort and money invested in smartphone usability may be a waste, if you believe Mark Zukerberg (META).  He claims smartphones will soon be replaced by smart eyewear.  Wonder how the UI will adjust to accommodate that? 

Easy: one mod per screen.

The new U.i is s#*!.

If somethings not broken don't "fix" it.
